Three years ago Andy (the guy in the middle holding the baby) and I committed to leading a group of boys through middle school at church. I made it into the 7th grade with them before moving to Seattle. Andy stayed with them all the way through middle school. The plan here is to build a relationship with these boys so we can walk with them through this very important time of their life. Our goal was also to communicate the love of Christ in a real and practical way with the guys in our group. So, I was thrilled when I had a chance to check in with them yesterday. They are all moving on to High School next year. These guys are all the same age as my son Drew. I wish I could have stayed with them but God had a different plan for me. Great guys - great group.
What are you doing to invest in young lives that aren’t your own children?

Hi there. I was wondering if you could send me your email? I’d like to let you know of a neat opportunity regarding writing/small groups.
Thanks so much.
